It’s Fathers’ Day once again! In fact, Google Doodles Fathers Day 2016 for all of us to remember that this day is such an important one and we have to at least give the tightest hugs and kisses to our dearest fathers.

There are a lot of ways on how we can give them thanks, not just today, but of course, everyday. An example of these is by giving them gifts, spending the whole day with them in the park, mall or anywhere they wanted to, or surprise them with a sumptuous dinner which can be either at home or elsewhere which has a romantic lovely hue.

To all fathers out there, happy happy fathers’ day to all of you. May God bless you always!

The correct, precise and accurate blood matching for possible blood transfusion plays a crucial role in every patient who requires such. And this blood matching made possible by the discovery of blood groupings by Dr. Karl Landsteiner. Perhaps it is just right to celebrate his 148th birthday today as we can see how Google doodles Karl Landsteiner 148th birthday.

The Google homepage just shows an animation of the 4 different blood groups, A, B, AB and O. Enjoy this educational animated homepage today guys!

It’s always good to remember some important and worth-celebrating historical events especially those national events. But it’s even better to know that the whole world is also honoring such event just like the Philippines Independence Day as Google Doodles Philippines Independence Day 2016 today,

Google Doodles Philippines Independence Day 2016

This is excerpted from Wikipedia:

Independence Day (Filipino: Araw ng Kasarinlan; also known as Araw ng Kalayaan, (or “Day of Freedom”) is an annual national holiday in the Philippines observed on June 12, commemorating the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12, 1898. Since 1962, it has been the country’s National Day.

And since, it is holiday, what are you going to do now? As excerpted from Wikipedia:

The day is spent with family bonding with friends and relatives and in either outdoor and indoor activities. All government offices and schools are closed as are private enterprises save for commercial establishments. As required by law the Flag of the Philippines, first flown on that day in 1898, is displayed in homes and establishments from as early as May 28, Flag Day, or on a selected date of May by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, which serves as the organizer of the celebrations, to the 30th of the month. Fireworks displays are the norm. Kawit, Cavite holds a yearly commemorative act with the flag raising at the Aguinaldo Shrine and the reading of the Philippine Declaration of Independence. Worldwide, Filipinos will gather on June 12 or a date close to it to publicly celebrate, sometimes with a Philippine Independence Day Parade.

Google today simply fascinates me and even made me reminisce how I dreamed of becoming a statistician, a mathematician before. But even how hard I tried eating those numbers, none of them ever made me full. Those just brought me bloated and really a headache. Mathematics, numbers really suck! But that is just a dream, a wish, I couldn’t exchange what I have and become now. I am happier with the degree I have and the career I would be in the future.

If you guys do not know her yet, let me share you information below which I adapted from agnesscott.edu.

Phoebe Sarah Marks was born in Portsea, England in 1854. She changed her first name to Hertha when she was a teenager. After passing the Cambridge University Examination for Women with honors in English and mathematics, she attended Girton College at Cambridge University, the first residential college for women in England. Charlotte Scott also attended Girton at this time, and she and Marks helped form a mathematics club to “find problems for the club to solve and ‘discuss any mathematical question that may arise'” . Marks passed the Mathematical Tripos in 1880, although with a disappointing Third Class performance. Because Cambridge did not confer degrees to women at this time, just certificates, she successfully completed an external examination and received a B.Sc. degree from the University of London.

From 1881 to 1883, Marks worked as a private mathematics tutor, as well as tutoring other subjects. In 1884 she invented a draftsman’s device that could be used for dividing up a line into equal parts as well as for enlarging and reducing figures. She was also active in devising and solving mathematical problems, many of which were published in the Mathematical Questions and Their Solutions from the “Educational Times”. Tattersall and McMurran write that “Her many solutions indicate without a doubt that she possessed remarkable geometric insight and was quite a clever student of mathematics.”

Marks began her scientific studies by attending evening classes in physics at Finsbury Technical College given by Professor William Ayrton, whom she married in 1885. She assisted her husband with his experiments in physics and electricity, becoming an acknowledged expert on the subject of the electric arc. She published several papers from her own research in electric arcs in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London and The Electrician, and published the book The Electric Arcin 1902.

Having this not-so-long information about her, I guess you guys already experiencing an information overload there. Try to google some more about her in some of your other free time.

Today, April 23, 2016, Google commemorates the death of the world’s best poet as Google Doodles William Shakespeare’s Death Anniversary.

Excerpted from Wikipedia:

William Shakespeare (/ˈʃeɪkspɪər/; 26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616)was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England’snational poet, and the “Bard of Avon”. His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 38 plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

Three days from now, we all will be celebrating the birthday of Shakespeare. We’ll wait and watch how Google will doodle his birthday.

Today, Google Doodles February 29 Leap Day of Leap Year 2016. You can actually view their animated doodle in their homepage.

Google Doodles February 29 Leap Day of Leap Year 2016

Excerpted from Wikipedia.com

A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or a bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, calendars that have the same number of days in each year drift over time with respect to the event that the year is supposed to track. By inserting (also called intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year.

February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the Earth does not orbit around the sun in precisely 365 days.

It always amazes me every time Google makes or doodles their homepage and give honor to any heroes, I consider one a hero when he does or did something great for everyone. For instance, as today, Google doodles Wilbur Scoville 151st Birthday.

You can eventually find it and check how Google doodles Wilbur Scoville 151st Birthday today on their homepage.

Moreover, Wilbur Scoville was a pharmacologist and the author of “The Art of Compounding” book and the one who created the Organoleptic Test to measure a pepper’s heat level.

Isn’t that amazing? Well, now we can enjoy or every chef and cooks can significantly estimate the amount of pepper to use when cooking because of this. Thank you Sir Wilbur Scoville for that great achievement.

It’s been a while since I haven’t been blogging. Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s actually almost a month of updating my blogs with the latest perks to deal online. What I usually just having now are paid posts and I would honestly tell that to all of you — and these paid posts are pre-written. So basically, I don’t have any calories of thinking and constructing a post anymore, but just solely posting each article immediately there after I receive and review each articles. This, I guess, is the reason why I was somehow excited to blog about how Google is being musical today as Google doodles Adolphe Sax 201st birthday today.

Yes, you heard it right! Today Google doodles Adolphe Sax 201st birthday. You can check it at the Google homepage. Below, by the way is a screen print capture of the Google homepage.

One might wonder what Google is doodling about today as it is showing an animated planet earth being sliced into halves and so on. Well, Google doodles Inge Lehmann’s 127th birthday today as an honor to remember how she did and make a history as a Seismologist.

Inge Lehmann ForMemRS (May 13, 1888 – February 21, 1993) was a Danish seismologist and geophysicist who discovered the Earth’s inner core. In 1936, she postulated from existing seismic data the existence of an inner core with physical properties distinct from the outer core’s and that Earth’s core is not a single molten sphere. Seismologists, who had not been able to propose a workable hypothesis for the observation that the P-wave created by earthquakes slowed down when it reached certain areas of the inner Earth, quickly accepted her conclusion.

If you happen to get updated with the latest news and events happening in the whole world, one can relate this Google doodle today as what’s happening in Nepal. Aren’t you?
